[Chemiluminescent study of the antiradical activity of tocopherol analogs and homologs].

Antioxidative peculiarities of the effect of tocopherol derivatives are considered. Attempts are made to reveal interrelation between tocopherol pharmacological effect and antiradical activity of its derivatives exemplified by an elementary reaction of tocopherol interaction with free peroxide radicals (FR). It is shown that the presence of free hydroxyl groups, number and location of CH3--groups in tocopherol benzol ring produce a significant effect on tocopherol ability to react with FR.
